The 1978 Corvette Pace Car Story The Pace Car Edition was not just a matter of paint and pinstripes, the Corvette Indy Pace Car also featured a special front and rear spoiler, both of which were designed to add a more dramatic appearance to the car, though neither offered much in the way of additional down force. It wrapped under and around the front of the car before blending into the wheel wells. Conversely, the rear spoiler curved down at its outboard ends to meet the body-sides of the Corvette." When the prospective owner checked the "RPO Z78" option code for the Pace Car Edition, the car would also arrive with". . new glass T-tops, alloy wheels, power windows, a rear window defogger, air conditioning, sports mirrors, a tilt/telescopic steering wheel, a heavy-duty battery, an AM/FM stereo equipped with either an eight-track tape player or a CB radio, and power door locks." The car"s interior was also special: "The interior was directly influenced by Bill Mitchell and featured either full silver leather or leather/gray cloth upholstery and gray carpeting. For the Pace Car, Chevrolet introduced a new, thin-shell seat design that featured more lumbar support. Although these seats were originally slated for the 1979 (Corvette), the development program was accelerated so that (they) could be introduced in the 1978 Pace Car package."
